Y’all, I messed up real bad. I seem to have mixed up all the q, p, d, and b’s in this puzzle. Fortunately, I remember which slots I put them in! Any square with a slash down the middle has a different letter for the horizontal and vertical clues. However, the only letters that go into these squares are q, p, d, or b. In addition, no square features the same letter twice. I filled in the few I remembered to get you started. Good luck!
